    Table relationship question

    I have an interesting problem that I need some help with:

    I have a residential home listing that is ONE address to MANY
    residents (as people move in and out)

    I want to have the current resident(and past) in the database, yet I
    have a need to have the owner listed if the resident is a renter (in
    case we need to contact them.)

    Is the best way to set this up like this?
    ONE Address, MANY Residents -AND- ONE Address, MANY Owners

    The duplication of Owner/Residents in both tables is making me doubt
    that it is the best way 70% are Owner/Residents and not seperate Owner
    and Renter.

    or is there a better way?

    Any help would be appreciated.
